The clean water flows swiftly in the rugged and narrow riverbed, and the banks are lush and green, where moss and flowers grow continuously, like roots, never rejecting others.A tree that has been around for decades, grows on the bank, with a burly trunk and thick and straight branches. The lowest branch can just cross the neck of a nine-foot man.

This place is at the foot of Yunxiu Peak, Fu Xuehen was ordered to see Xue Muhua off on the mountain path at the foot of the mountain, watched his carriage and two Xiyutai disciples on horseback go far, then turned around and walked back, only walked for a while, Occasionally, a little light flickered in the distant forest, which seemed unusual and aroused Xue Hen's curiosity.

At the place where the light was shining, Xue Hen stopped walking, but saw a familiar figure standing beside a big tree that had experienced decades of time.The other party was concentrating on flicking a gilt silver piece with a magnolia pattern on the leather belt. He flicked it up with his thumb, caught it with one hand, and flicked it up again, still holding it in his mouth. He didn't seem to notice Xue Hen standing behind him. not far away.

Xue Hen stepped forward and asked, "You are not at Yunxiuding, how did you come here?"

The famous general Yang Qing took off the gold and silver piece held in his mouth, still didn't look back, but he could tell who was coming by the sound, he smiled and opened his lips: "Is the young lord here to see Xue Muhua off?"

Xue Hen replied: "He just left."

Yang Qingming asked again: "When will Miss marry in Xiyutai?"

Xue Hen lowered his eyes and pondered.

Yang Qingming smiled and continued: "I haven't been back to Xiyu Terrace for a long time."

Xue Hen suddenly asked: "You are already a disciple of Yunxiu Ding, why does the respected father want you to go back to Xiyu Terrace?"

Yang Qingming smiled and replied: "Only I know the distribution of power in Xiyutai best. Without my secret assistance, Miss is alone and pregnant. It is bound to be difficult to complete the task assigned by the lord."

Xue Hen asked again: "If you achieve the plan of respecting your father, where will you go from now on?"

Yang Qingming replied straightforwardly: "Xiyu Terrace has always been my home!"

Xue Hen was a little disappointed: "Have you never had a little nostalgia for Yunxiu Ding..."

Yang Qingming persuaded: "Your Honorable Master, why should you care whether I have feelings for Yunxiu Ding? I have always been very ruthless, either others use me or I use others. In my eyes, fate only cares about benefits, not Morality."

Xue Hen asked tentatively, "Is there really no one you care about in your heart?"

Yang Qingming laughed, but it was a bitter smile, and replied: "He got married, and he got married without telling me. We have known each other for so many years, and we have been separated for so many years. I thought he would never change. I made a wrong calculation..."

Xue Hen thought for a while, and couldn't help blurting out: "You said, but the young head of Yangui Island - Murong Wuyan?"

Yang Qingming just smiled and didn't answer.

Xuehen couldn't help clenching his fists secretly, complaining in his heart: Why is he the young master of Yangui Island again?Princess Yongxin cares about him, even Yang Qingming cares about him so much!Isn't he just beautiful and charming, but I'm not bad either...

Yang Qingming finally turned around and said to Xue Hen: "On the seventh day of the next month, I will leave Yunxiuding for a few days. If the lord has something to tell me, please ask the lord to say a few words of kindness for me, and wait until the private affairs are done. , I will return to Yunxiuding as soon as possible.”

Xue Hen asked concerned: "Who are you going to see? Murong Wuyan?"

Yang Qingming replied: "See my younger brother."

Xue Hen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and moved, and was about to go up the mountain.

Yang Qingming suddenly said: "Young Honorable Master suddenly cares about Wuyan very much, and has he taken a fancy to him? Haha, he is already married to my younger brother and has become my sister-in-law... The only thing I can remember is when I Take his virginity!"

Xue Hen stopped and turned back, looked at Yang Qingming in astonishment, and then secretly clenched his fist again: "His first time was also yours? How many people's first time have you taken away..."

Yang Qingming went crazy, and said with a smile: "If the part before Miss and Zhu's neck-to-neck relationship counts..."

Xue Hen immediately stepped forward, grabbed his skirt tightly, pushed him onto the tree trunk, and growled: "You! What did you do to my sister! You...!" He gritted his teeth, as if he had bitten his teeth. Resentment: "Why are you so sentimental..."

Yang Qingming smiled calmly and said, "Who is Young Master so angry about?"

Xue Hen gritted her teeth tightly, staring at him with a little bit of resentment, but didn't give a single word of explanation.

Yang Qingming didn't push Xue Hen away either, he suddenly supported Xue Hen's shoulder, the petals covered Xue Hen's petals, the lilac sank into the pool of petals and entangled him lingeringly.Xue Hen was suddenly surprised, and couldn't help being dazed, but slowly closed his eyes, completely surrendering himself to Yang Qingming in front of him.

The breeze silently swept across the water surface of the river, bringing up thin ripples, and everything on the shore was reflected on the clear and clean water, except for the shadows of trees and grass leaves, there were two overlapping figures Crouching in the shadow of the branches.

The reflection of the branches on the water does not move, only the figure crouching on it sways gently, the heartbeating low voice accompanied by the crisp grapefruit slapping, reverberating here for half an hour, the half muddy water splashes from The lower branches of the trees on the shore flew into the river, causing a deep ripple, and before one ripple calmed down, another was added, repeated several times, until the human voice stopped.

After a moment of blank mind, Xue Hen opened his eyes and looked back, and found that Yang Qingming was no longer behind him, then turned around to look around, only to see that handsome figure had gone far ahead.

Yang Qingming's voice came from the front along the breeze: "Young Master, let's go up the mountain early."

After hearing this, Xue Hen just lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing, gently stroked his lips with one hand, and stroked his neck again, taking a moment to recollect the crazy taste left by Yang Qingming, then tidied up his robes, I went up the mountain alone.

At that time, Huang Yan and Zhu Yanfeng were about to leave Pingjing, but just arrived at the gate of Chenghuang when an urgent call suddenly came from behind.

"Wait a minute! You two gentlemen, wait a moment!"

Zhu Yanfeng and Huang Yan turned their heads at the same time, but saw an eunuch hastily bringing someone over, the two looked at each other, Zhu Yan opened his lips dangerously, and asked the eunuch: "Could it be that there is something summoned in the palace?"

The eunuch replied: "It was summoned by the Supreme Emperor."

Zhu Yanfeng turned his head and asked Huang Yan: "Delay your return by a quarter of an hour?"

Huang Yan nodded indifferently, responded with an 'Yes', and followed the eunuch into the palace, to Zhu Zhengong in the deep palace.Su Zhongming had already ordered people to prepare fruit and good tea, and he also sat in the hall and waited. As soon as Huang Yan and Zhu Yanfeng entered, Su Zhongming generously said "sit down".

Su Zhongming asked again: "Do you want tea?"

Huang Yan wasn't greedy for the plate of fruit and the pot of tea in front of him at all, he just cut to the chase: "Could it be because of the clues we just found?"

Su Zhongming confessed: "I want to hear your opinions."

Huang Yan said bluntly: "It may be a real clue, or it may be a false clue. Someone put it there on purpose."

Su Zhongming replied: "It is true that this clue seems to be done on purpose, but I want to try my luck."

Huang Yan said bluntly: "You want to find out the origin of that cloak and mask, but you just fell into the trap of the mastermind? Are you not afraid that this is a trick of confusion?"

Su Zhongming replied: "I'm thinking, if it's just a trick set up by the other party to confuse us, then there must be some flaws in his layout that exposed his identity."

Huang Yan asked: "Have you sent someone to thoroughly investigate the origin of that cloak and mask?"

Su Zhongming replied: "I have given Zhu Yunzhan a thorough investigation of that mask, only the cloak, I personally went to the weaving bureau of Murong's family, the manager said that he didn't know anything about weaving and dyeing, specifically It's not the fabric from Murong's family, I want to ask Wu Yan personally."

Zhu Yanfeng quietly poured a cup of tea for Huang Yan, and handed it to Huang Yan. Huang Yan took the teacup and smelled it lightly. A scent of lotus leaves rushed into his nose, which made people feel refreshed, so he generously took a sip of the tea. Lotus leaf tea.

Su Zhongming suddenly asked: "Where will you go after leaving Beijing this time?"

Zhu Yanfeng opened his lips: "He and I have been away for a while, and next, we plan to return to Qingluan City."

Huang Yan added ruthlessly: "Yanfeng can't go out for more than a month, it's your rule. The time limit is approaching, if you don't go back to Qingluan City, where else can you go?"

Su Zhongming replied: "It would be easier to go back to Qingluan City. When I find out the origin of the cloak and mask, I will send someone to bring the news back to Qingluan City."

After drinking a cup of tea, Huang Yan put the cup back on the tea tray and stood up, Zhu Yanfeng also stood up, and waved goodbye to Su Zhongming at the same time, Huang Yan said "Farewell".

Su Zhongming saw that there was not less than one fruit on the plate, so before the two of them left, he persuaded: "Why didn't you eat any of this tea, do you think it is not to your taste?"

Huang Yan only said: "After all, there is a distance between the dock and the capital, if we don't hurry there..."

Su Zhongming understood, but still insisted: "Take it to eat on the road?"

Without waiting for Huang Yan to answer, Zhu Yanfeng felt that it would be a pity not to eat these fruits, and immediately agreed: "Then I will thank the city lord."

Su Zhongming said happily: "I'll ask someone to wrap these fruits right away!" But he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: These delicious pancakes, the queen mother suddenly didn't want to eat them, so she gave them to me, but if I finish eating, don't eat them. It's strange how heavy it is!The efforts to lose weight in the past few days are all in vain! ...Wuji doesn't seem to have ever gained weight. Could it be that his body is not easy to gain weight?Just leave it to him to solve it!

After leaving Pingjing, on the way to the dock, Zhu Yanfeng took out a raisin butter cookie from the paper bag, gently broke it in half, and handed half of it to Huang Yan, and the two ate the cookie while walking.

Zhu Yanfeng said: "If I had known that the city lord had given so much fruit, I wouldn't have had to buy dry food before."

Huang Yan replied: "Brother fool, how can fruit replace dry food. One such sweet and crispy fruit can hold five steamed buns."

Zhu Yanfeng answered: "It makes sense, then these fruits..."

Huang Yan replied: "Of course it's a pity to throw it away. I have my own countermeasures."

Not long after, the two returned to Qingluan City, and went to Jinling Pavilion before it was time to retire.In the front yard, there happened to be a few young people who were doing cleaning routines. When they turned around and saw the two of them, they immediately greeted them with playful faces and greeted them with "Daqing, Shaoqing".

Huang Yan only summoned 'Ziyin', and Fan Ziyin immediately rushed forward, crossed his hands and responded with 'Daqing'.Huang Yan handed over a paper bag of fruit in his hand, and ordered: "These palace fruits, take it and share it with others."

Fan Ziyin agreed, "Yes!"

All the young people were overjoyed when they heard that their boss had brought back the palace fruits for them. When Huang Yan and Zhu Yanfeng left the Jinling Pavilion, they put down their work and rushed up to carry Fan Ziyin into the main room, which made Fan Ziyin terrified. yell.

Huang Yan smiled as he walked, "These boys will come in handy when they should be used."

Zhu Yanfeng replied: "Many people want to taste the fruit of a court all their lives."

Huang Yan said bluntly: "It tastes good, but I still prefer your fairy grass taro ball soup."

Zhu Yanfeng said: "I'll take you back to the Jinyun Tower to rest first."

Huang Yan replied, "I want to go to that place."

Zhu Yanfeng guessed: "That place? Is it that hot spring pool?"

Huang Yan said: "If you don't go, I will go alone."

Zhu Yanfeng said: "Where are you waiting for me first?"

Huang Yan replied: "I can only wait for you for a quarter of an hour, and you are responsible for the consequences of being late."

In a blink of an eye, it was early autumn in September, and Wuyan received an invitation letter from Su Zhongming, thinking that Yangqing would go to the appointment in a few days, so he went out with him, took a boat to the dock closest to Pingjing, and parked the boat at the dock , came to Pingjing on foot.

After entering the palace, the two met an eunuch. Knowing that the eunuch was ordered to greet them, they followed the eunuch to the palace where the banquet was held. When they entered the palace, a faint fragrance of flowers came to their faces. Yangqingyuan smelled the fragrance and searched for it. Looking around, I saw a vase in the center of the square banquet table, and there were two fresh cherry blossom branches inserted in the vase.

He came to the table and couldn't help saying: "It's just a meal, don't you need to be so romantic?"

Wu Yan secretly punched him lightly, implying that he should pay attention to etiquette when speaking in the palace, he glanced at Wu Yan, purposely leaned into Wu Yan's ear, and lied in a low voice: "You beat me well pain."

Wu Yan gently pushed Yang Qingyuan away, and replied: "Where does it hurt? It's not as painful as Hei Hei's paw scratching you!"

Yang Qingyuan leaned closer to Wu Yan's ear again: "You are the cat's paw that hurt me."

Wu Yan replied: "If you keep talking, I will bite you to death."

Seeing the two of them flirting in front of him, Su Zhongming couldn't help pretending to have a sore throat, and coughed lightly, which made the two of them restrain themselves, and sat down at the table with them.

Su Zhongming asked with a smile: "Did the two newlyweds have a good time?"

Wu Yan replied: "Well, I'm in charge of outsiders, and he's in charge of insiders. The division of labor is just right."

Su Zhongming smiled: "Aren't you going to have a honeymoon? Go out for a month."

Wu Yan felt a little helpless: "The weaving and dyeing business is very busy recently, and I don't have much free time to travel around."

Su Zhongming felt regretful: "That's it..."

Yang Qingyuan interjected: "You simply invited us over for a meal this time? Nothing else?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Finish the meal first, and then talk about business!"

The maids immediately brought plates of delicacies to the table, including kelp oyster tofu miso soup, braised chicken nuggets with bamboo shoots in sesame oil sauce, boiled fresh squid in sesame oil and black bean sauce, shredded pork belly in garlic sauce and three different vegetables stewed.

Yang Qingyuan looked at such dishes, and couldn't help but brows happily: "Today is very generous!" The first one stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and tasted it, Wu Yan couldn't stop him, glanced at him, and felt even hungrier Then, he also picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Su Zhongming was the last to move his chopsticks. The three of them ate and chatted like a family. The stomachs of the three of them should not be underestimated. Before they knew it, they had eaten up all the delicacies on the plate.

The three of them rinsed their mouths with fragrant half-warm tea, and then wiped around their mouths with clean handkerchiefs. After that, Su Zhongming ordered Gong'e to remove the tableware, and ordered the eunuch to bring over a wooden box, and began to tell the story of the banquet. Purpose: "Recently, suspicious objects were found in the cave under investigation, a mask and a cloak. I have ordered people to investigate the origin of the mask, and only this cloak remains."

The eunuch then walked to Wu Yan's side, opened the lid of the box, Wu Yan reached out to touch the cloak, picked it up a little bit, looked carefully at the texture of the fabric, then put it back into the box, and concluded: "The material of this cloak is indeed Made by the Murong family, this is a jacquard silk blended with tencel and silk, and it was woven seven years ago."

Su Zhongming was curious: "What is Tiansi?"

Wu Yan answered: "It's not silk or cotton, it's made of wood pulp and spun into yarn."

Su Zhongming understood, and lightly responded with an 'oh'.

Wu Yan continued: "Its jacquard pattern is the flame of birds and beasts. It is dyed gray with ancient methods, and then the jacquard pattern is dyed dark blue. As far as I know, this piece of cloth was commissioned by Qianshanju Silk Cloth Shop seven years ago. Murong's family wove a special limited edition of only [-] feet, and it was used as a commemorative piece of cloth for Qianshanju Silk Cloth Shop."

Su Zhongming hurriedly asked: "Which city is this Qianshanju silk cloth village?"

Wu Yan replied: "Yewei City in Landan Commandery."

Yang Qingyuan interrupted: "Yewei City is not too far from Dongdi City, 68 miles to the west!"

Su Zhongming said: "Landan Yewei City... is only 68 miles away from the main rudder of Xiyutai..."

Yang Qingyuan answered: "Is this cloak related to Xue Muhua?"

Su Zhongming replied: "Now it looks like it has something to do with him, but I think someone deliberately put it there to make us suspect him. He himself was suspicious before."

Yang Qingyuan slightly raised the corners of his lips into a smile, and said without hesitation: "I really hope it's him. If so, he will subdue the law, and the power of Xiyutai can be released from his hands and return to orthodoxy!"

Su Zhongming didn't understand the right and wrong of the martial arts world, so he just lowered his eyes and didn't answer a word, since he knew the origin of this cloak, he didn't waste the time of the two of them, and asked: "What are your plans next?" ?”

Wu Yan replied: "He will go to another place for an appointment in a few days, and he and I will probably only stay in the palace for one night before leaving."

Yang Qingyuan interrupted suddenly: "It's still early, how about going to the Royal Garden for a stroll?"

Su Zhongming regretted: "I still have things to do, so I can't accompany you."

Yang Qingyuan turned his head and pointed at an eunuch casually: "Just let him follow."

Crown Danish cookies are delicious!

Squid and cuttlefish are boiled in boiling water and eaten with sauce. I really think it is better than frying and steaming!
